Sand City is known for its funky, independent and artistic atmosphere, and nowhere is that more on display than the annual West End Celebration. The streets of Sand City shut down and become an open-air artists' fair, showcasing truly unique works from artists throughout Monterey County. Resident Sand City artists also open their studio doors throughout the day, inviting the public to view both completed works and works in progress. Many studios also host live performances during the event.

Don't be intimidated by some of the big names showing their work; for every legend with art on display, there is an undiscovered artist in the booth next door. Find a painting or photo to brighten your home, a sculpture for your yard, or turn yourself into a piece of art with a piece of incredible handmade jewelry.

Food and Entertainment

The Sand City West End Celebration also showcases local food, wine and music. Food booths feature local favorites such as artichokes and taste wines from several local wineries. Don't miss live musical performances from Red Beans and Rice, Raising Cain, Honeymoon, Tornado Rider and more! Visit the West End Celebration's official website for a complete schedule.
